Why is it so hard to get an appointment wit Sef, I have been here a month now and on the phone 5 days a week and no one answers. So myself ( British ) and my girlfriend ( Portuguese) went to the Sef office in Santarém to see if we could actually book an appointment for me to get residency and a tax number as I can't do anything without this. After waiting for over an hour the guy says the only way is to call to make an appointment there is nothing he can do. This system is crazy, why don't they have an online booking system !!!!!
